Cyborganism

I started with Mandrake back in 2000 and used Red Hat at school. In 2004 Ubuntu was released and I adopted it for life. I switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu to Ubuntu MATE to Kubuntu up to this day. It’s the best because of all the quality of life additions, the stability of the LTS releases, the amount of widespread documenation, and general size of the community of users. This makes it a lot more easier to use and get help to troubleshoot any problems. So far it’s been mostly a problem free and easy experience.

Until recently…

I just discovered Zorin OS and started messing around with it in a VM. I gotta say it’s of of the best, most polished Gnome desktop experiences I’ve had so far with their free core version. While I love KDE for it’s desktop experience being the closest to Windows there is, I usually find it has WAY too many customizations to a fault. Some people like this, but I find that the more you mess with configs, the more prone to problems it gets. I also find Gnome to be more well put together and well integrated. The fact the customization options are limited means I spend more time doing what I need to do than messing around with getting my desktop just right. I just hate the default Gnome destop and whatever paradigm they tried to make. That’s why I’ve stuck with Kubuntu for a while. But with Zorin, I think they found the sweet spot. This might be my next install and I might recommend it to anyone who wants to get into Linux over Mint.

I’m starting to recommend Zorin OS now. They did a really good job with Gnome to customize it into a workable desktop.

In fact, I’m even considering switching from Kubuntu because of how nice and polished it looks.

You’re reading a book and suddenly as the main character reaches in their backpack, he pulls out a cold, dew covered bottle of CERVEZA CRISTAL!

LoL same. It’s what made me move to Ubuntu MATE and eventually Kubuntu.

Which distro is the best to get the latest KDE updates?

I can’t wait for this release!

People forget this is a miniaturized advanced personal computer that fits in your pocket with lots of extra features. Plus, there’s a lot of work behind the software.

Not to mention, they probably don’t benefit from having the same manufacturing scale and power as Samsung, Google, or Apple. Or the same deals for parts.

I fucking hate this. Fuck social network companies.

Cool. Wish more search engines would do that.

But, as far as Kagi goes, it’s a paid service and it’s an American company. So I won’t be using them.
